Yep. Punishment is not identical with suffering. Maybe having your abdomen slashed open would feel like punishment to you, too. But if your surgeon does it so he can reach in and remove your infected appendix before it bursts, is he punishing you? I don't think so. Neither are the authorities punishing you when you are arrested... you are being controlled.
Your freedom is briefly removed when you are examined as you pass through an airport security check point... perhaps having to go through that feels like torture? Say yes all you want, but it's not torture.
There is no doubt being deprived of your liberty is at best a significant hardship... that is why the power to arrest is so highly limited, and why the penalties for false arrest are serious. But it just is NOT punishment.
You must be found guilty before you can be sentenced to a punishment for a crime, which is what is referred to in the phrase "innocent until proven guilty". Being arrested and held before trial isn't a punishment, it's the means by which you are compelled to face trial. We do operate under the expectation that those suspected of crimes are forced to face trial. The force involved varies, but it mostly consists of taking control of your person, or of your money until the trial is complete.
What they have is a trademark. They can use that trademark to forbid competing manufacturers of vehicles from selling their products as "Ford".
As far as I know, Ford is not a brand of calendar, nor is Ford well known as a calendar manufacturer. Trademark protection would not apply.
Magazines need no permission from manufacturers to print reviews. That's hogwash. They might lose advertising but that is in no way legal compulsion. Likewise, I would like to hear about the lawsuit where a newspaper took its own photographs of a vehicle for a review and was legally sanctioned for it. Moreover, by simply acknowledging the trade mark (for instance, by using the TM sign), you substantially protect yourself even if someone at the company wants to harass you with legal procedure.
Trademarks don't work like copy rights. At least, not in the US they don't.
And lastly, Ford' not doing anything of the kind like you suggest. Trademark law has a "defend it or lose it" twist. By telling the car club they can't use the images, they are simply covering their asses, even though this situation would in no way actually threaten their trade mark. It's the simpliest and quickest response any corporate lawyer can give that is one hundred percent thoughtless and yet guaranteed to be in the corporation's legal favor.
This is outrageous. Everyone involved with this obscene web comic should be prosecuted to the fullest extent for causing all of these horrific deaths. It must be put to a stop immediately or the death toll will rise past that of 9/11. And then who will we invade?
What it does is force the creation (or at least continued existence) of other companies to serve areas that the giant is blocked from expanding into. With unlimited ownership one company could squeeze out all the competition... this ensures that SOMEONE else must exist... and theoretically that means the someone else is ready and able to make a move into your market the moment they think they can make some money.
So no, it won't magically make someone set up shop, but it does at least ensure someone is out there who "does cable for a living" and could do it. It's a kind of half measure, and a weak one at that.
He means when you say something like
"Freddy was shotingly shot last night."
Which is funny, cause I just happened to say that to my wife the other day.
TFS says it is not an LCD at all. As stated in the video, it's a rear-projection DLP. It has four elements, the joins of which are not currently seamless.
Common LCD sizes have no relevance in this case, but at least you're thinking.
Car Wars did make it in the 80s as Autoduel. As a big Car Wars freak I enjoyed the heck out of it.
I was surprised for many years that the really good table top games did not get digitized. I bet a
lot more people would play Car Wars today if you could handle virtual miniatures instead of cardstock
pieces.
I suspect it's not really that it's considered important to subsidize television... it's that when the bill was debated, there was enough opposition on the grounds that "but this will make everyone's TVs obsolete and people who can't afford a box will get screwed", and this provision in the law was thrown in to counter that argument and pass the legislation.
Moreover, the simple fact that Spiner once sold it does not mean it is not that very same one now sold again. This would need to be demonstrated however.
Yes, exactly my point. I am saying that while absolute zero is exactly that, absolute, the "highest possible temperature" may differ with location and time (for instance, the age of the universe at the point being considered), and thus, there is probably not a meaningful "absolute heat" opposing absolute zero. Moreover I think that in any other brane (not a word I'd usually pick but it seems popular choice for another universe) that had the equivalent of motion and heat, absolute zero will always be the same, corresponding to no kinetic energy* in the system, whereas we would expect possibly different highest possible temperatures in different branes. Hence again... not "absolute heat".
* really folks... we're having a casual discussion here. Using the words "no motion" is really not a plenty fine placeholder for more technically correct terminology in a non techni... oh wait, this is Slashdot
The speed of light cannot be exceeded, but matter never reaches it. You can always add more and more acceleration to matter, which ends up increasing the velocity smaller and smaller amounts, and the relative mass of the matter more and more. Somehow I think that a mole of atoms going.99999 c and massing (say) a baseball bat each would evaluate as less hot than one mole of the same type of atoms going.999999999999 c and massing a battleship each. Not that atoms per se would exist as such if two of them ever collided at those energies.
While it may well be that there is a maximum "energy density" for a particular space, it would not really be a true opposite to absolute zero. Absolute zero represents complete cessation of motion... a true opposite would be infinite motion (obviously not infinite velocity). Also, it seems quite possible that whatever upper limit exists at one particular time in one particular space may differ from another... either varying as the universe ages, with whatever gravitational field may exist locally, or at the very least in different universes that may exist. As such, while absolute zero is just that... absolute (in that no heat is no heat under all conceivable reference points), "absolute heat" almost certainly does not uniformly exist. I suppose another way to say is that if you plug absolute zero in as the value in a mathematical calculation, you will always get the same result, but there is no one value "absolute heat" corresponding, which can closely approach actually existing in our universe.
Bricking being an enthusiast's term for conditions an enthusiast encounters, it makes little sense to apply it to average users and their situations. It will be noted that average users "plug their screens into their hard drives", which for the rest of us is quite impossible.
As much as the implication may be there if we were starting at square one in defining it, it does not mean that. It's a term that arose among enthusiasts, people who are tinkering with gear, and it means that the tinkerer can't recover from the problem and is either out of luck entirely or must send it in to the manufacturer to recover.
And I need to shoot myself. The best game music of all time was in Dune, using a Sound Blaster. The CD soundtrack released in the deluxe (or whatever) version is also often great, but just not quite as well tuned as the MIDI the Sound Blaster put out. I still get shivers.

But you'll have to finish listening to them within 24 hours.
Not always. If the system's not on the internet until the bad actor deliberately makes a link for the purpose of sabotage, it is then only sabotage.
Hey now, don't be an insensitive clod. Some of us are ninjas.

It looks like you're trying to kill yourself!
Would you like help?
* Get help with killing yourself.
* Just kill yourself without help.

But the dark matter IS detectable with gravity effects (matter), while not by any light of its own (dark). That's what makes it dark matter.
